Creative Holiday Gift: How to Make a Beauty Sample Box

Give a creative holiday gift this season and learn how to make a beauty sample box with a personalized touch. During the year, I stockpile all of the beauty samples and gifts with purchase that I have received from Sephora and Ulta for the purpose of gifting them during the Christmas season. With that said, I don’t just toss them all together in a bag and throw a bow on it; I want the “wow” factor. Everyone loves a pretty package that looks like it’s from a high-end boutique, so that’s what we are going to make happen.

Want to know how to make a beauty sample box? Check out my steps below and get your holiday gifting creativity mind on.

Supplies Needed:

3 to 4 beauty deluxe size samples

1 small paper-mache box

bubble wrap or tissue

handful of feathers

ribbon, lace, cut shoe-string, or twine (something to tie box with)

dried flowers

chalkboard label

Directions:

Fill paper mache box almost up to the top with bubble wrap or tissue paper

Sprinkle feathers over the top for a plush and high-end look

Add your deluxe size beauty samples inside of the box and put the lid on

Tie a cut shoestring around the box and knot it at the top

Place dried flowers (or another fun embellishment) under the cut shoe string

Lastly, add a chalkboard label

In the end, you should have an adorable handmade beauty sample box that you can leave as is, or add a gift card too! I am off to do a bit more holiday decorating…I am so excited that Christmas is almost here! Anyone else?

I’ve been making my own little beauty gift bags and boxes for my friends for years, long before they were actually a business thing. My loved ones that get them are terrible at buying pretties for themselves even though they always want them so it just became tradition that I would buy them things they would like and compile it for them.

It really is a great idea and it’s so personal. I love the tutorial you created.
